aiodnsprox—A DNS proxy based on Python’s asyncio
aiodnsprox is a DNS proxy based on Python’s asyncio. It supports a variety of different DNS transports on both the serving side and the proxied side. On the proxied side, classic DNS protocols are supported, such as
DNS over UDP (RFC 1035, section 4.2.1) and
DNS over TCP (RFC 1035, section 4.2.2).
On the serving side, DNS over UDP is supported as well but in addition the following are supported:
DNS over DTLS (RFC 8094)
DNS over CoAP (DoC, draft-ietf-core-dns-over-coap), supporting both unencrypted transfer and CoAP over DTLS.
Since aiodnsprox currently is using an experimental feature branch of aiocoap that provides CoAP over DTLS server support, aiodnsprox is to be considered in an early beta state.
Installation
Releases can be installed from PyPI
pip install aiodnsproxYou can install the latest development version directly from GitHub
pip install git+https://github.com/netd-tud/aiodnsprox/Dependencies
aiodnsprox works on Python 3.7 or newer.
The following packages are required (see requirements.txt): To parse configuration files PyYAML 5.4 or newer is used. For proxying upstream DNS services and message parsing, dnspython 2.1 or newer is used. For serving DTLS messages, the tinydtls-based DTLSSocket 0.1 or newer is used. For serving CoAP, an experimental branch of aiocoap with linkheader, tinydtls, and oscore support is used. The branch is based on aiocoap 0.4.1.
Usage
To start e.g. a DNS over UDP proxy towards a public DNS over UDP server of OpenNIC, use
aiodns-proxy -u -U 185.120.22.15For more information on the provided arguments, see
